Mackem News was founded in 2024 to offer a one-stop-shop for Sunderland fans to get daily, around-the-clock updates on the giants of English football.
Our aim is to provide daily news, opinion, matchday content and tactical analysis, as well as a focus on Sunderland Women.
Led by lifelong Sunderland supporter and season ticket holder Josh Edwards and an expert team of journalists, Mackem News aims to give fans a unique take on each story, providing informative, well-written and perfectly sourced content all year round, keeping supporters up to date with all the goings on at the Academy of Light and Stadium of Light around the clock.
From the highs of Premier League football to the lows of falling to League One and returning back to the promised land, Sunderland fans have been through it all, and we want to cover every facet of this world-famous club.
Whether on your laptops and tablet devices or scrolling through your smartphones we want to bring you the best content, whether that be transfers, matchday reaction or pundit views, our vision is to give fans the most extensive coverage of Sunderland.
Impartial, authoritative, and credible, we provide top-quality original content, including exclusive stories and insightful analysis. We showcase exclusive content, with former Black Cats player Derek Ferguson providing regular analysis on all things Sunderland. Former PGMOL chief and ex-FIFA referee Keith Hackett will provide reaction to all the topical matchday incidents at the Stadium of Light.
Mackem News is part of an independent network of websites focused on providing top-quality digital sport content, sharing news and entertainment with sports fans across the world. Learn more about the company here.
